[QUOTE="Patootie, post: 209773, member: 9620"] Greetings, and thank you for taking the time to consider this issue. Periodically my Epson Artisan 730 will indicate a paper jam and stop working. There is not a paper jam anywhere. Not even a small piece of paper. The following describes the scenario: - Power button pressed ON. - Normal startup indications appear for about 5 seconds. - About 5 seconds after powering the printer ON, there is a very high frequency low volume sound. - Sometimes there will be loud noises similar to the sound of plastic gears grinding. - Then there is silence, and three flashing lights: the power indicator light, the WiFi light, and a blue light beneath the status display. The status display reads - "Warning Paper jam inside the product. Press OK to see how to remove the paper." Also on the front panel there is a green OK light about two inches to the right of the status display. Just by luck in the past I was able to resolve the issue for weeks and months at a time. Once I blew compressed air into the printer openings front and back, and another time it just started working again. A printer repair man tells me that there is a paper jam switch that can be seen by removing the duplexer. It is said to be a small plastic flag on the left as viewed from the rear, and this is a known issue that could be due to a weak or broken spring that is supposed to hold the switch in the normal position. If I find the switch I plan to disable the switch. Now that you have read about my issue, can you offer any guidance? Thanks in advance. [/QUOTE]
